Netflix wont allow my paypal as my payment method. It keeps saying somethings wrong with my paypal account. I have called netflix and they say it is an issue with my account. However netflix appears as active in my account.

If Netflix already appears on your Manage Automatic Payments page of your PayPal account then you're set. Netflix will automatically withdraw the amount due each month and you'll receive a PayPal receipt when that happens.
Account Settings (wheel icon next to log out) > Payments > Manage Automatic Payments
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

Is PayPal not listed in your Netflix account as the payment method? If it is not, go back to the Manage Automatic Payment page and cancel the active Netflix profile there. And then go to Netflix and re-link your account. I also suspect that you can only set up one PayPal account at a time as PayPal method and and any active Automatic Payment profile to Netflix has to be canceled first.
